This desk looks great, and had fantastic reviews overall. Figured it couldn't be too bad. It arrived and the packaging was very poor. Loosely shoved in the box, not very-well arranged. The main desk panel came damaged and a piece was falling off. I did not have time to send for another desk, did not plan to have a brand new desk come broken. I will be contacting for a refund, we'll see if service is sufficient.

The desk is poor quality, and poorly designed as a recording desk. The rack rails are soft. I was able to strip some of the holes accidentally with a hand-held screw driver.

Most importantly, the desk's hollow metal legs make a VERY AUDIBLE resonance. When typing it sounds as if I'm typing in a hollow metal tube. With speakers on the desk, they make the desk resonate as well. Really not good. I had better luck with the inexpensive ikea table my computer and speakers were on before.

Stay away if you intend to use for recording, writing, and anything audio related. The sound of the desk will drive you insane!

I am very satisfied with this product. I looked all over for a nice studio desk that would not break the bank - this one is great for a small home studio. I would highly recommend.The two built-in racks are great. I was able to rack mount my audio interface, power conditioner, and plan on putting in a rack mount synth - there is plenty of space to rack mount most of your gear. The casters are also nice. It makes it easy to move things around and then lock into place. There is a grommet on the back to organize the flow of cables. You can actually adjust the height of the desk up or down about a half inch with the caster adjustment screws (or you can take the casters off altogether to lower it).Very sturdy construction - the desk is actually quite heavy (I was not expecting that). It was easy to assemble and everything locks into place. Would like better casters for the wheels but hey, for the price, I am not going to complain. The black frame and cherry finish is very nice and will look good in just about any room.Great value! The desk looks great and is built well. You won't find anything close for the price.

Great overall product - Great value, thinking on getting a second side car. Perfect for the money!I never give anything a full 10 stars - because there's always room for improvement. Love the desk, very solid construction, rolls easily. I bought this and the 24" side car. Both a great value compared to other more expensive solutions.

For such an expensive and heavy desk, this sure came poorly packaged. Styrofoam did very little to protect against chips and splits in the wood finish. Some screw threads were difficult to engage, metal pieces came out of the box bent. Way too much of a hassle to return or exchange. Just be warned that if you're expecting a 100% pristine piece of furniture that the price tag leads to you believe it is, you'll be disappointed.

Nice little studio work station, the upper level places monitors at head level. Definetly improves my work flow and quality is decent for this price point. Easy to assemble and the double 4u racks are nice.

I looked at home studios, in stores, & online for what would work best for me in a music room / woodshed ex-bedroom in my home. Price & quality were less critical than functionality & efficiency. This would have been the best choice for me at twice the price. And the practicality of substantially more work area made it a good choice over its little brother for only a little more money. Heavier than expected, but that just makes it more sturdy & solid. Biggest surprise? How great it looks with other furniture in the room - it provides contrast in style & color. I miss not having the drawers that were in the desk this replaced, but the functionality of the space & work area gained has made me a very happy camper.

I needed a small desk due to the size of my room. This is great. Assembly was easy and all the pieces seemed to be in good shape. It's sturdy and the wheels actually work well and the 2 wheels in the front lock. So why not 5 stars? Well, as you can see in the picture when you have anything on the desk it's hard to get to the equipment in the rack. I have a laptop and a controller and I can't get to the interface controls without closing or moving the laptop. I have since moved the controller onto a boom arm so it's off the desk and I'm going to move the interface to the other rack which should help.

The merchandise came in two packages very heavy. I spent 4-5 hours (taking my time ) to assemble. The desk looks nice in my room even though, I still have a lot of equipment stored in it. I have a 24 inch IMAC on the top shelf and still have enough space for speakers . The bottom shelf has enough space for a workstation keyboard or a multi track recorder and any other option you desire. This is a great Studio Desk for the price and is also sturdy. My problem now is what to do with my accumulated devices , keyboard and drum machine so the room want look so cluttered.

I've read that the directions were hard and that pieces like screws or bolts would be missing... I had absolutely no trouble understanding or assembling. The desk looks great and is sturdy. I have a 27" monitor and two JBL 308s on the top half of the desk and they surprising fit pretty well! So that's nice...

As far as cons though...

Packaging sucks. My desk wasn't scratched which I'm glad for. But I can't say I wouldn't be surprised if some people who orders it, run into that issue.

This next one isn't a big deal. Just that you will need to purchase some screws from gator or whatever for your rack equipment. I mean you don't have to but some people may find that info nice to know.

I definitely recommend this desk to anyone searching for a desk that's affordable and stylish. It's worth the money you spend on it for sure. I plan to get the added rack cart eventually.

This is a great desk: the only issue I had was the rear caster crushed under the weight of my rack stuff. It was too much for this rack and I should have known that. The company sent me replacement wheels free of charge!!

When putting together the desk, I realized it did not come with all the right screws. It was supposed to have six 1/2 inch hex bolts, but it only came with one. Yet there were four identical allen wrenches that I could choose from to screw in this one bolt. I called Musicians friend and they said they would mail the other screws to me, no problem.

While I was waiting, I figured I would assemble the other parts that I could. Then the casters would not fit into the left leg. Right leg no problem. Regardless of which casters I tried, it was clear the holes in the left leg were not drilled appropriately. I called back and asked them to send me a new left leg as well. Agent indicated this would be more complicated than the screws, but that he would follow up with the warrantee department to get me a new leg.

After 8 days and nothing in the mail, I called back. This agent was every bit as friendly as the first two, but had difficulty tracking down records of my previous calls and the status of my parts. She gave me her email address and extension number and has committed to following through to get this resolved, but this experience has already been far too much trouble for a desk that cost three hundred clams.

I bought this for my home studio, and it's nice. I don't think it was unreasonably hard to assemble. Seems very sturdy, nice-looking and functional. One thing that gives me pause -- I'm pretty sure this will not fit through a doorway. I assembled it in the room it now lives in, and I hope I don't have to move soon, because I'm pretty sure I'd have to take this thing apart to get it out of that room.

This is a nice recording desk for the home or small recording setup. Better than average quality in the materials (for the price) and the assembly is pretty straight forward. It took me about 45 minutes to assemble it completely. The packaging is less than adequate and when you add in (insert carrier here) Neanderthal delivery methods, this desk is prone to freight damage. Mine came in two boxes and while both boxes had battle scars, I was fortunate that nothing was damaged. I like the height of the desk and available eight 1U rack units as well as the casters that make moving the whole desk pretty simple. The top shelf can become pretty cramped if your using 8in or larger monitors. I would also recommend some type of acoustic foam or padding under your monitors to offset any desk noise as there is a fair amount of metal used in the design of this desk. The addition of a keyboard tray would be a plus and the relocation of the bottom rail that runs parallel to the desk so that is was on the back side of the desk to avoid hitting it with your feet, would also be an improvement. All in all I'm happy with this desk.

Solid desk. Easy to assemble. I didn't realize how much I'd love the caster wheels, but it's great to be able to easily move it closer to where I have mica/instruments set up. Tons of surface space all within reach. Only complaint is that one of the nut fittings that's pre-set in the wood was stripped- so where there should be 8 bolts holding the main platform together there are only 7.

Unlike some of the other folks here I had no problems with the desk. All the parts were correctly packaged and safe. Assembly took a little while but once done the desk seems sturdy, the rack mount space worked without an issue and it looks relatively sharp. I wish there was just a tad more room as it's hard to fit dual (computer) monitors and as well as mixing monitors on the top level at the same time.
